Right before lunch we had a couple of Haitian mojitos. For dessert we had Blan Mange, a Kreole take on the usual dessert with a wonderful coconut flavor.

Enjoy.

What the hell is Goat "tidbits", I mean can you at least Identify for me the part of the goat the tidbits came off of?

I think the only thing I would be interested in is the rice and beans. but thank you.

I cannot believe that you dissed my Haitian 101 lesson. Evidently you've never had a nice piece of malanga.

And, as noted by Philicia, the cabrito "tidbits" are lean selections. Oh, but I keep forgetting... Unless it is made with chicken lips and assholes like your beloved PukeDonald's nuggets then you're not interested

ps: there's also a place five blocks away that serves Tacos De Cabeza De Res -- I'll let Rev. Moon translate that for the spineless wonders of this fair forum

Oh, I think I have an ice cream maker hidden away in a cabinet. I may dig it out and attempt some passion fruit ice cream or sorbet!

Yum... Tacos de Cabeza de Res... as in, literally, tacos made using meat from the head of the cow (unlike "tacos de ojo", which are not made with eyes). The cow's head is wrapped in leaves (I believe they use either agave or maguey plants) for additional flavah and it is then BBQ'd. I'm surprised you've had them.

Have you ever had puerco asado made in a caja china? Cubans make the best, usually around Xmas.

Oh. If you make that passion fruit sorbet be sure to take pictars. It shall be divine.

I also bought two actual small blood oranges -- tis the season you know! Pricey though at 99 cents each and so tiny. Best used for a salad garnish IMO. I think I'll eat the second one right now though I should really be in bed.

Kinda looks like my anal opening lately. How much of that did you actually eat and how much did you ahve to trash?

I ate all of it -- it was tasty, though admittedly the photo doesn't quite do the dish justice It's a breaded, thin pork loin cutlet cooked in olive oil. Then you make a sauce from prosciutto, garlic, capers, white wine, anchovies, sage and a LOT of lemon zest. I'm sorry that you don't have an appreciation for Umbrian trattoria cooking.

Oh, and I have tons of leftover lentils to eat all week so I'm sure I'll be very sick of them.

I love lentils. I've been at a loss lately over making something different - and my brain totally forgot about lentils. Thanks for the inspiration, Miss PeePee. I've got some puy lentils in the cupboard just crying out to be eaten.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

My next thing is to get into making farro and barley. I've not even ever had them I don't think. Do you make quinoa?

I love lentils. I had them on a salad the first time I went to France as a teenager and always liked them -- definitely the best legume IMO. I'll go out today and buy a bunch of stuff to make salads all week and have them with soft-cooked fresh eggs.

I just read an article last night about how western demand has placed that grain right out of the economic reach of the people who primarily subsist on it. It actually came to me by way of Mother Mark or a link from one of his posts on FB.

I love lentils as well. I can go to town on stuff like that and hummus.

Maybe there's some hope for me on Team Phillicia yet. Though I doubt I'm high class enough.

Here is what I had with my coffee this morning -- homemade biscotti, with pistachios, cranberries, and orange. This recipe replaces some of the flour with cornmeal, so you get a nice crunchy biscotti that's not as hard as a brick.

I'm sorry, Miss P, the butter did not come from an Amish dairy, the flour did not come from wheat that was locally grown and hand-millled, the cranberries were not from a producer-owned bog in Massachusetts and sweetened only with agave, the oranges were not organic, and the pistachios are not from artisan growers in California.

Nonetheless they are quite tasty.

They look delicious. I buy a similar biscotti and Termini Bros. Bakery in my neighborhood, and it's the cranberry and pistachio ones that are my favorite. Whenever I go home to my parents I take them a box of a dozen assorted biscotti. They're outrageously expensive and I should learn to make them myself I guess.

Note to Mitchypoo: Termini's is a mere six blocks away!

ps: Guilhermina would probably prefer going to Iannelli's Bakery, also within walking distance:

One thing I miss about living in the northeast is being able to get good cannoli. Many moons ago, my sisters used to live in Trenton, and we would go to Italian People's Bakery where they would fill the cannoli fresh when you ordered them. No soggy shells around these cannoli!

Oh yeah, all of the good places fill the shell to order. The hardcore natives line up at 4 AM Christmas Day just for this, either at Termini or Isgro (also within walking distance, Mitchell). I think I've had more cannoli in Philly than I did when I lived in Little Italy in NYC.

i am now convinced that you are the only resident in your neighborhood, as there is little room left within walking distance other than restaurants and gourmet foodie places.they must occupy the bottom 5 floors of every building within a mere 16 blocks from you.
